Not trying to teach granny etc etc. if the equipment is less than 45 yrs old it may be a metric size , also check the size is not a BSP thread if it looks coarse like a whit worth size .
See this site https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/imperial-hexagon-head-tap-grease-nipples.html
I was looking for 1/4 UNF and ended up with BSF or the other way round( I 'v been to sleep since then ) as the first few threads fit each other well .

I acquired a worklamp to go with my Ferrex Aldi batteries today, saw it on the bay of thieves and thought i would try it. Looks like its been made on a 3d printer, its nice and bright , its also got a bit of weight behind it so doesn't fall over.

They are called a g coupler.

Not cheap at £20 but very highly rated & you can get a repair kit if they ever start leaking!

Thanks, found quite a few different ones, some a lot cheaper, some dearer . Suppose quality will vary as well but kind of torn between the G-Coupler (found one at £18) or the Sealey AK45 which looks bulky but well engineered but is about £27 or just go for a knock off of the G Coupler at about £8.

Just bought this one, to me it looks good quality and the design looks good. Time will tell I suppose

I've one of those.
It needs the quick release held open and a good push but then itbworks well.
I got fed up pulling the heads off grease nipples with the standard one so bought one from the local factors
Haven't had any bother since

The gears on my road bike have been playing up, they'll stay put when you try to change then jump when you don't. Most likely cause is worn cables so I bought a new kit but I don't have wire rope cutters, they'll probably get used once a year if that but I still couldn't being myself to buy Silverline.
I paid £26 on Amazon but the listing now says £46 just like everywhere else selling them, must have been listed wrong.

Picked this Evolution chop saw up on Monday (been too busy to post til now) after I missed out on a few. Got it for £120 and only a few months old. Bought it from a lovely chap from Mold who’s son was passing right where I was working so dropped it off on his way to Rochdale. Winner winner I say.
Was also given this humongous clamp, don’t know what or if I’ll use it on but you can see the size of it next to one of my 6” Carver’s and my size 11’s!!!

There are markings on it but nothing I can make out if it’s a carver or not. The main shaft is about 3/4” thick and the head a good 1-1/4”-1-1/2 So has some weight to it
